Israelis Protest Austerity Harshness
On May 11, thousands of Israelis protested publicly. They did so for social justice. More on that below. In summer 2011, widespread social justice protests erupted. They continued for weeks. Others followed in summer 2012. Several Israelis protested by self-immolation. Moshe Silman's remembered best. He died for justice denied. During a July 14, 2012 protest, he poured ...
More Peace Process Hypocrisy
On April 6, John Kerry began a multi-nation tour. He'll travel to Europe and East Asia. His first stop is Turkey. He'll meet with Netanyahu and Abbas. He wants peace talks restarted. More on that below. Peace process deception is policy. It's always been a charade. It is now. Israel wants it that way. So does ...
Premeditated Aggression: Official Israeli Policy
A previous article discussed Israel's Wednesday attack on Lebanon. Reports suggested Syrian weapons and munitions heading cross border were struck. It asked why would Assad send vitally needed weapons and munitions to Lebanon? He needs all he can get. What's Israel up to? Is something else going on? Is it trying to provoke Syria to retaliate? Does ...
Targeting Iran Continues
Israel's likely coalition partners assure it. Spurious Iranian threats are hyped. What began years ago continues. Washington and Israel want puppet leaders replacing independent ones in power. At issue is unchallenged regional dominance. On January 27, Haaretz headlined "Netanyahu: Iran preparing for another Holocaust." At Sunday's cabinet meeting, he told ministers that "holocaust denial is continued energetically by ...
Israeli Election Results
Israel has no constitution. Basic Laws substitute. One defines the "Powers and Functions of the Knesset." It's elected by "general, national, direct, equal, secret and proportional elections in accordance with Knesset Elections Law." Israel's Central Elections Committee overseas procedures. It's composed of Knesset members. A Supreme Court justice chairs it. It authorizes parties, election financing, vote ...
Israeli Elections
They fast approach. They're sham elections. Except for more contesting parties, they replicate America's illegitimate process. Voters get little choice. Ideological extremists run Israel. Rhetoric alone separates candidates. Policies are hardline. Hypocrisy substitutes for democracy. Israel's current Knesset is its most hardline ever. It trashed rule of law principles. It enacted repressive anti-democratic laws. It fast-tracked Israel ...
Netanyahu: The Face of Israeli Fascism
Israel under Netanyahu reflects Arundhadi Roy's view. Her book titled "Field Notes on Democracy" explained. "What kind of India do they want," she asked? "A limbless, headless, soulless torso left bleeding under the butcher's clever with a flag driven deep into her mutilated heart?" She compared Hindu right wing persecution of Muslims to Hitler's war on Jews. ...
Washington Post Supports Israeli Settlements
Post editors are contemptuous of fundamental human rights. They spurn democratic values. They consider rule of law principles quaint and out-of-date. Wealth, power, privilege, and dominance alone matter. When America goes to war or plans one, they march supportively in lockstep. They ignore the worst of imperial crimes. They endorse Israeli occupation harshness. Jewish rights alone matter, ...
No Relief for Palestine in New Year
Gaza remains isolated under siege. No relief in sight looms. Occupation harshness is policy. Peace is a four-letter word. Dominant Israeli hardliners scorn it. So does Washington. Violence and instability advance their agenda. Conflict will continue in 2013. So will Palestinian suffering. Settlement construction continues unabated. Netanyahu wants it accelerated. He wants all valued parts of Judea ...
Israel’s Long Arm
Right wing extremism defines it. So does institutionalized persecution. More on both below. On December 27, Netanyahu addressed an air force pilot graduation ceremony. He threatened Iran and Syria. He said Israel's "long arm" will strike forcefully. He considers himself above the law. He'll violate international and Israeli law at his discretion. He knows he can do ...
Avigdor Lieberman Faces New Charges
He's Netanyahu's main coalition partner. He represents the lunatic fringe of Israeli governance. He's a serial felon. He's ideologically anti-democratic and hardcore racist. Weeks ahead of general elections, he resigned. In January, he plans running for reelection anyway. At least so far. Information discussed below may preclude him. He stands criminally indicted. He deserves prison, not high ...
Washington Targets Syria and Iran
US policies threaten both nations. Doing so imperils the region and beyond. Syria's now in focus. Iran's turn awaits. What's likely should terrify everyone wanting America's imperium defeated and peace restored. Doing so remains a distant dream. Potential worst of times loom. On December 17, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) cited Syrian Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa ...
